What are the Challenges in Developing Superhydrophobic Surfaces?
Despite the numerous benefits, there are several challenges associated with developing superhydrophobic surfaces:
1. Durability: Many superhydrophobic surfaces are not durable and can be easily damaged by abrasion or environmental conditions. 2. Scalability: Producing superhydrophobic surfaces on a large scale can be challenging and expensive. 3. Environmental Impact: Some materials and processes used in creating superhydrophobic surfaces may have adverse environmental effects.
